- The negative frame was first made as the opposite of the negative-positive one, but it killed the acrylic’s transparency, so it was reworked.
- I started with creating the data and it took me an hour and a half.
- The rest of the time is spent making meeples as requested by my wife.
- Wood laser cutter 1 hour
- I was worried about cutting it because it is 5mm thick, but I heard it can cut 18mm or so.
- The laser engraving on the wood surface was too thin at first, so we slowed it down and burned it in.
- As for the arrow frames that are often pinched and moved during the game,
- Acrylic is cooler looking.
- Wood with a thickness of 5 mm is better for ease of pinching
- The situation is troubling. I made a version of each and a version of acrylic over wood.

unit price
- From one light-collecting acrylic plate, you can get 80 pieces even if you cut them out roughly, or 128 pieces if you pack them in properly. The unit price is 6 yen.
- You can get 16 arrow frames from one piece. The unit price is 13 yen.
- You can get maybe 28 wood arrow frames from one piece. The unit price is 6 yen.
- Gluing the arrowheads together costs 19 yen per unit plus the machining labor, so I don’t want to do it if at all possible.
- The $4,860 tech store usage fee is not included in the above calculation. This is the bulk of the cost.
- It would be difficult to make 10 sets a day of regular chips (10 flags 5 life x 4 colors + 10 flags) from light collecting acrylic.
- →About 500 yen usage fee per set
- → Not priced to be included in the regular edition, make one acrylic chip set for yourself, mass-produce in the remaining time, and sell separately.
